Abstract

In this work, the electrical transport properties of metallic La0·67Sr0·33MnO3 and insulating La0·5Sr0·5MnO3 films were manipulated by ferroelectric polarization of BiFeO3 and light illumination at 40 K. Compared with BiFeO3/La0·67Sr0·33MnO3 heterostructure, the BiFeO3/La0·5Sr0·5MnO3 heterostructure shows more obvious photoconductivity response when switching the out-of-plane polarization direction of BiFeO3, as the downward polarized state of BiFeO3 and light illumination both promote the transition towards the ferromagnetic metallic phase of La0·5Sr0·5MnO3. These results would be helpful for the practical application of all oxide heterostructures in photoelectric devices.
